Gardening Makes for Creative Cooking

This past weekend we were having family over and planned to do steak fajitas on the grill. I looked at our beautiful radishes and thought that I had to incorporate it somehow into the meal. So, I made a salsa composed of our mixed variety of radishes, our lemons which I preserved last month, our green onions, and some tomatoes we had in the fridge and some lime. This was an amazing salsa! I never would have thought of salsa with radish and preserved lemons if I didn’t grow/preserve this myself and was itching for a way to show it off.

A good ingredient begs for special attention. Take, for example, this mama jama carrot I pulled up. I feel like I should have honored it with some sort of special recipe. But sometimes creativity gives way to practicality. J. took it to work as part of his lunches, but I believe he got 3 lunches out of it.

And in unrelated news, had to share a cute picture of Max on his froggy potty.
